Located at an undisclosed location in Central Europe (apparently between the borders of various small countries), the UN houses it's most ambitious venture yet. The place is it's own soverignty, and answers to no country.

Project Orpheus's facilities, both the initial inspection station, and the main lab/residential area's, are BIG! No, bigger than that!

You see, the complex itself is often mistaken to be entirely underground, with just one or two domes jutting out for sunlight. This is actually not the case, since the residential (both for the test subjects, the personell, and security) sectors are in fact, below ground for security measures. The labs and many of the working areas are actually above ground level just like any regular building of it's type. Of course, as you would suspect, Project Orpheus is NOT your average structure, and not just because of it's vastness (which is easily a couple of miles!).

The first building, the one that is known to most UN officials, is the Inspection/Gateway area. This is about the size of a small private clinic and is used for physical testing and decontamination of any potential personnel, visitor, and test subject.

The main structure it'self is capable of full biological, radiation, and atmospheric sealing at the press of a button by security, and the underground secured areas are capable of remaining intact in the wake of even a direct nuclear strike. Even the above ground levels can withstand direct hits from shaped charge explosives with no compromise to it's integrity.

There are, in fact, two entranceways to the main facility. The first and most common is the TRAM system, starting from a gateway in the Inspection Station to the main facility. And officials, inspectors, or new personnel are required to undergo a scrutinous physical to ensure that no communicable diseases or contaminates enter the compound. Once approved, they are taken by TRAM to the residential and experimental half of the complex.

The second is known only to security, a blast door located near and below the outside domes. This is STRICTLY for evacuation purposes only.

As for the inside, most of the complex, with the exception of the Residential areas, are made out like a very well run hospital. The walls are usually polished chrome and metal, or dull white. Carpeting is usually blue with plenty of track lighting for every section. One disconcerting factor about the facilities is the hieght off the ground. Particullary tall people or equipment will have a difficult time getting around in much of the facilities, but considering gear of that magnitude usually goes to the Lab sectors, it's not a debilitating thing.

Many of the staff, however, complain about the excessive use of cleaner in the area. Though spotless, it often smells of very strong industrial strength cleansing fluid. (Sniff a whole bottle of chlorine for 5 hours straight and you'll get the idea of what it's usually like.)
